Facebook....Wasting My Precious Life Away One Click at a Time

Last weekend my quiet campus here at Quinnipiac university was attacked. Brutally, savagely attacked by the infamous website....THE FACE BOOK. I quickly realized that I could not escape it, it has brainwashed everyone, and I want to run and hide from it, BUT I NEED IT!

Face book is a website where you create a profile and try and click as many people to be your friend as possible. It's really just a sad way to feel good that people like you or a sad way to see that people don't like you. For those of you who are unaware of exactly what the face book is I have thought of some Analogies

Facebook is to Quinnipiac what Crack is to a dead hooker.
Facebook is to Quinnipiac what Deer are to my Volvo (2 and counting)
Facebook is to Quinnipiac what the Giants are to blowing their season
Facebook is to Quinnipiac what young teenagers are to soft porn
Facebook is to Quinnipiac what my brother is to underage Jello wrestling (you don't want to know)

In the end facebook has taken over the campus in a matter of days. Everyone is on it, everyone is a stalker at heart and they will convince you to join it. It reminds me of my 6th grade Dare Counselor telling me "someone will come up to you with a cigarette and will say "commmmon, EVERYBODY'S DOING IT. If you're cool you'll do it." I feel like I left my Dare Officer down, I couldn't say no. I joined the facebook.

Now that I have gotten it out of the way that I kinda feel bad about being on the facebook, here are some things I like and noticed:

LEMIWINKS FACEBOOK AWARDS

The award for best Facebook "about me" goes to my friend and one hell of a drinking partner, Chris Arvanitis: "People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I enjoy ice cream and a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me I have an I.Q. of 48 and that I am considered mentally retarded."

My roomate rocco has touched me through the face book:
"Also- Mountain View 270 rocks. We have a great mix of guys in here and I've made some more good friends this year in John, Bear, Ben, and Matt."

The best "Interest section" goes to my roomate Kevin whose interests include:
"Creeping girls out, Coming on too strong, Hockey, and Comic Books"
That interest section should win over the ladies

It seems now that the facebook has come along, if you are not someone's friend in the facebook, it must mean you CERTAINLY cannot be friends in real life. Because of this I have purposely denied people my friendship. (gotta be exclusive ya know)

According to The face book, there was only one other person on this campus who enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite as much as me (I joined the fan club yesterday). But then I realized I was spelling it wrong and found alot of people who I now have alot of respect for. If you have not seen it, DO IT. My litchfield friends have enlightened my world by asking me if i wanted to see that movie.

Well, I really can't type much more, I mean I can hear FACEBOOK calling my name and I must return to it. So I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving now. I'll be doing fun things such as going to Boston to see the Celtics (who I hate), Going to the Yale Harvard game, eating turkey, going to the famous After turkey football game (all are welcome), eating turkey, and eating turkey. So if you live near me feel free to call me, I'll prolly offer you some turkey (or at least some gravy).

BOO at QU

This weekend I saw a penis. A GIANT, HUGE, ENORMOUS PENIS... and it walked too. I saw a 6 foot tall penis walking around and drinking a beer, and before I could pinch myself I realized this my friends is Halloween.

WOOHOO.....time to dress up, poison the candy, and throw stuff at trick or treaters. It's the scariest day of the year (besides the day you wake up and wonder if you picked up an STD the night prior). Best part about this year was Halloween was ALL WEEKEND LONG. Friday night my long last friend Demi and my stubby fingered friend Travis called me, told me they were 10 mins away from school and were coming to spend the night. I love surprises (except when the Red Sox jump out and yell "surprise" to my beloved Yankees and win the series). So I sign them in, let them through the golden gates of QU and the weekend begins.

Travis and Demi are two wild and crazy guys so I decided to show them around campus. Campus was fun on Friday with a few get togethers and fun activities, but the thing that I found most amusing was a giant leaf pile outside of my friend Dave's room. ALCOHOL+LEAF PILE= an unlimited amount of amusement. I tried everything from a high, tall jump, to a low projectory jump. I tried throwing the leaves up as high as I could and screamed "It's snowing leaves" and I also tried throwing the leaves low. I really cracked up when my friend chris jumped in the leaves, then I had a 5 min conversation with brownbear, he started walking towards the leaves and Chris jumped out screaming "BOO". He laid motionless for 5 mins to jump out of a leaf pile that we knew he was hiding in an attempt to scare us...priceless. At the end of the night, Trav took the bed I realized I had nowhere else to sleep so me and Demi spooned on the floor.

On Saturday I had to go into Manhattan for some personal business with some friends. I would just like to announce to the world that I have now walked the ENTIRE width of Manhattan. I have walked the ENTIRE length of 52nd street. We received directions to "go right when you hit 52nd street and go down 6 blocks". We hit 52nd street,took a right, went down 6 block and happened to hit a river. As soon as we got there we got a phone call telling us the directions were wrong and we needed to go left at 52nd street. So 6 blocks back to where we started and 6 more blocks to the other end of 52nd we hit the other river and the reception that we were trying to get to. After the reception, 6 more blocks to the center of Manhattan and I'd say another 6 blocks of walking around the city. Here, let me make it simple. 6+6+6+6+6=30 blocks in new york city and a couple of sore feet. So back to Quinnipiac I went for Halloween.

Dave's room threw the best Halloween party on Saturday night. The party consisted of prolly a few hundred people through out the night, some great costumes (pirates, slutty nurses, peewee herman, me and laura's favorite SPARTAN CHEERLEADERS), and A DJ WITH A FOG MACHINE. I didn't realize the the fog machine was there until I blinked, and suddenly realized I could not see the person in front of me! I danced, laughed, and cheered all night long and wondered how the hell is that not setting off the fire alarm?

The next day I walked to dave's room to see what I call "France after WW2". The place was wrecked. There was a small portion of Dave's wall missing. Apparently his suitemate wanted to see how high he could get on the wall, jumped off some stairs directly into the wall, and the whole thing just went inward. There were actually two holes on the top of the wall where apparently his elbows hit. I hope he was proud.

On Sunday night just when I thought things were dieing down I saw something that said it all.....a girl riding on the back of her friends electric powered wheelchair off into the distance wearing a winged costume. Happy Halloween everybody! Hope your candy can feed you till turkey day!
